Steve,

I have several of the cable connectors left over from a cannibalized harness.  I used two of them to make an extender for 
the PTO.  The rest of them have the wires cut just past the connector.  If interested in these, let me know.  I can send 
pictures of what I have and I'll let them go very reasonably.
